Do you tend to like music in particular genres, or are your tastes all over the place?  What are your most and least favorite musical genres?

If you haven't gathered yet (if you know me or if you just stumbled upon this posting from somewhere) my musical tastes veer into the strange. I primarily enjoy what is usually termed Progressive Rock, with a little bit of Heavy Metal thrown in. I should probably define which sub-genres of Metal I enjoy as well. I'm more into the classic 80s metal sound, like Iron Maiden or early Metallica. I don't particularly enjoy most death metal, power metal or black metal. Anything with screaming vocalists is out. Growling vocals are OK as long as they're done tastefully.

I also enjoy some Alternative and Pop stuff, but that's not quite as widespread as my Prog obsession. I usually have to be in the right mood and the source material needs to be the right material.

Aside from hip-hop, rap and country (and the exceptions noted above), I'm generally pretty open.
